A Sheep Among Demons

Lesson Five Chapter Forty-One - A Pet is a Big Responsibility (1)

"Yuki, this isn't what I was talking about at all. I believe I asked to stay in your room...So what are we doing here in Beelzebub's?!" Luke was frowning but looked more like pouting in my eyes, as we sat in Beel's room together with Beel.

I ended up caving to Luke's request and snuck him into the house and took him directly to Beel's room. I felt like I should have told Luke what my situation was before taking him into the house. I know how much he doesn't like being around demons....

"You're talking too loud. If you don't want the others to know you're here, you'd better keep it down." Beel frown at Luke as he gesture for them to quiet down but that only seems to fuel Luke's annoyance as the frown on their face increase (and got even cuter). "Answer the question!"

"No one can use Yuki's room right now," Beel told Luke the reason why we were in his room instead of my rather comfy one that had very personal stuff kept there and hopefully not messed up due to my missing wall.

"Wha? What do you mean no one can use it?" Luke looked confused at what Beel just said and looked at me for answers but I looked away as I messed around with my fingers, feeling kind of embarrassed for the reason why I can't use my room currently.

"It's all because of the custard," Beel said seriously with a straight face which made the situation even dumber if people actually knew what he was talking about. I wanted to let out a loud groan due to this.

"The custard...?" Luke mumbled that with a super confused face but I just shook my head at him when he looked at me for more details. Sometimes it's better not to know too much, especially if it is for a super dumb reason.

"Yuki and I have to share a room now. We don't have a choice. Those were Lucifer's orders. I don't remember asking anyone to pick up a dog from the street and bring it back here, not to mention one that never stops barking." I didn't look at Beel when he brought up me sneaking Luke into the house. I also didn't comment on the fact all of his brothers keep calling Luke a dog, he is more like a bunny in my eyes.

"Hey! Don't you compare me to a dog! Anyway, I wasn't picked up off the street! I came here of my own free will!" Luke crossed his arms with a huff as he tried to look more mature than he actually appeared. I wonder if Luke realizes he really does look like a young child instead of an old angel. Actually, how old is Luke?

"Here, drink this for now, and try to calm down." Beel handed a drink to Luke that he took with a wary look that just increased when he looked down at the drink he had in his hand.

"Wh-What's this supposed to be? ...It's red. It better not be some sort of weird demon drink... like some strange creature's blood or something! Tell me it's not!" It looked like gears were turning in Luke's head as he kept on coming up with different things the drink in his hand could be.

"It's just pomegranate juice." Beel didn't seem to care about Luke's worries as he bluntly told him that. I was kind of surprised that they had pomegranate juice in the fridge, I have been guessing what some of the drinks in the fridge was but it was kind of hard with the weird names on some of them.

"Wh...what?! Beelzebub, why are you being nice to me? It's creeping me out." Luke looked at Beel cautiously as he slowly inches closer to me. I really can't help but find the way Luke acts so cute, like a child who doesn't want to admit they are scare of someone or something.

"Because you gave me cake once." Beel's expression grew happy as his stomach started to growl a bit in hunger. Beel's mindset is kind of simple if that is the reason why he will be nice to someone, just give him food.

"Did I?... Ah, right, you're talking about that one time..." Luke seemed to remember what Beel was talking about as he nodded his head in understanding.
